I could frame anyone of you in a dark corner, and capture you in a moment of desperation
Now, now, I know what are you thinking! "WTF, why are you celebrating a deranged sociopath, who murders women, and takes tortured photos of them ...

It's end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
You know that thing that lies above our heads and tends to threaten us every day, let alone the heroes of JRPGs and the occasional western RPG? Yes, the threat of our world ending, n...

I am beyond your comprehension, I am Sovereign
Ah, BioWare, how the mighty have fallen. I can no longer count the amount of years it has been since BioWare delivered what I'd argue was a true quality RPG experience on one hand. I can'...

Who needs heroes when you have Travis Touchdown?
The beauty of backwards compatibility is having the option to go back and play games that you never got around to playing, or reliving classic titles to refresh on the things we've lear...

Oh come on, just finish already!
So here's a silly idea for a blog, it's been something I've been contemplating for some time now but I wasn't sure whether it would be worth writing about. But after having listened and scoured through...

"You know what I hate? Well, lots of things really but I'm old and easily annoyed but that's beside the point!"
Last year I started a blog meant to be the beginning of a feature series, something which I've yet to follow up on, so recently...

Cheers everyone! A few days ago I made a "sort of" GOTY list for 2017 that represents the things I enjoyed throughout the year. I made it on Giantbomb though, so naturally I would have to port it somehow. Sadly, Durante wasn't availa...

Odd Jobs Overload!
So no Yakuza accouncements at this year's PSX. It feels wrong, it's a tradition after all! The event itself isn't particularly old but every year since its induction has seen the announcement of a Yakuza localizatio...

Quit strutting like a peacock!
The Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza series has come to mean a lot to me much like Atlus' Persona series. They are both weird and hard to define type of video games. Beat'em up, japan simulator, semi-open-world, jrp...

The name is Agent. Imperial Agent.
A lot can be said about EA lately and their present tactics to kill any last original thought someone might have within the company. The recent closure of Visceral Games, and the future of Amy Hennig...

"Only a few more steps to Outer Heaven"
Recently I've been thinking up a new idea for a blog. In retrospect, I still have an unfinished blog regarding the Persona series I wanted to finish before Persona 5 came out but that is prematu...

Steals your heart away
After years of waiting, and many delays per Atlus tradition (Catherine, anyone?) Persona 5 is finally within reach of western gamers. This author has been so impatient as to importing the Japanese version last y...

All out of heat!
Having juggled between Yakuza 6, Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Nioh and other games I've found it difficult to grant Yakuza 6 my utmost attention as I had initially planned. My fondness for playing Persona 5 making it e...

Piss off, 2016! 2016 can't come to an end quick enough. It feels like a long spanning entourage of disappoinment and downright awfulness not just in regards to gaming (like the English version of Persona 5's delay yet again) but also ...

Trial of the Dragon
Wanna hear something crazy? Donald Trump is going to be President of the United States. Wanna hear something crazy and revelant? The Yakuza series is only 10 years old and already have enough sequels, spin-offs, pr...

Yo! L-U-V Y-y-y-yo-yo-yo!
On the subject of all the recent excitement for Persona 5's western release over the last few months, and having finally gotten my hands on the imported special edition of said game I've thought about doing ...

The Time Has Come And So Have I
Isn't it weird to think that Devil May Cry originally was planned as a sequel in the long running Resident Evil franchise? It spawned from a lost concept intended for Resident Evil by one Hideki Kamiya....

In the wake of recents news that BioWare is planning on releasing a unique bonus chapter for SWTOR's recent expansion, where you play as HK-55. I thought I'd like to do a retrospective look on another of my all-time-favorite gam...

I finally decided to write a blog about something I like or really just wanted to talk about more in depth--That something, happened to be Persona 3 since I believe people have talked their share about Persona 4 I feel I wo...
